How do you make keto chocolate ganache?

For this keto chocolate ganache, I used equal parts hot heavy whipping cream and sugar-free dark chocolate. This allows the chocolate to gently melt and combine with the cream for a luscious, smooth ganache worthy of any dessert. Make sure that no water comes into contact with this mixture while you’re mixing–It’ll cause the chocolate to seize up and separate into a grainy, gloopy mess.

Chocolate Crust

• 6 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 1/4 cup almond flour
